Abstract excerpt
Genetic background influences the outcome of Leishmania major infection. C57BL/6 mice mount a Th1 response and resolve infection. In contrast, BALB/c mice mount a Th2 response and develop chronic lesions. This susceptible phenotype is seen even though BALB/c mice generate IFN-gamma-producing T cells at proportions similar to C57BL/6 mice in their lymph nodes (LN) early after infection. We had previously shown...
